Our Washington Letter


washington, FEB. 18th, 1887.
President Cleveland was the first perso ID
To learn that the Pension bill had been de-
pleted Speaker Carlisle handed a small
piece of paper to his Sect. who was waiting
and who rushed Immediately to the tele-
graph Office in the corridor. Immediately
the instrument was ticking and before the
reading clerk had finished the list, and be-
fore the vote had been announced in the
House, the President in the Executive
Mansion knew that his veto had been Sis
tanned.
Work is accommodating with great rapid
ity upon the Presidents hands as the Con-
gressional session draws to a close. He re-
mains at his desk long into the night exam
ing bills and transacting other business.
His determination last year not to 70 to the
Capitol during the last hours to hurrielly
sign bills which he had not been permitted
to examine, gave great satisfaction then and
he will doubtless adhere to the same course
at the approaching adjournment. The best
men in Congress of both sides thoroug hlv
approved of his resolve not to make laws
by affixlng his name to measures which he
had no chance to learn anything about.
The President has said in the last few
days that he did not see any special reason
for calling an extra session of the Fiftieth
Congress. though it is possible he may ask
the Senate, which is permanently organ
lied body to remain in session beyond the
fourth of March. There are some import -
ant Nominations which he wants to submit.
hut which he is not sure he will have
time to decide upon before the end of this
session. Among them are the Interstate
Commerce nominations and those for Sec
retay of the Treasury and United States
Treasurer.
The question has arisen as 10 the Presi-
dents power to appoint the Interstate Com
missioners after the adjournment of he
Senate. Some of the Senators argue that
the Consultation does not empower the Ex-
ecutiye to appoint during vacation, to a
newly created office which is to be filled by
and with the consent of the Senate. Others
hold this t there is no difference between
filling new Office and vacancy that may
occur during vacation of the Senate, and
that there are decisions by Attorney Gener-
ais covering that point.

MOTIVES TO WORSHIP AND
OBEDIENCE.

Every movement Of the mind, whether
in directing the thoughts toward God
in worshipful attitude, or in the OBJ
jective expression of determination, is
governed by motive. The mind never
acts in either way without cause or
reason for so doing. In matters of the
religious life it has to do with motives
arising from its intimate relation with
the Infinite Mind According there
fore, as its idea of God is so will be
the motive which controls its purpose
and effort to worship God and obey
him. Doctrines are motives. The tru-
est doctrine embodies the purest mo-
tive. From the truest doctrine and the
highest motive springs the truest and
purest life in SO far as doctrine reaches
to the conscience and the heart, out of
which are the issues of life. The best
doctrine may be held merely as an in
tellectual proposition, like problem in
mathematics or philosophy, having no
directing influence over the will j; and
it is saddening truth that many lives
are but little affected by the best doc
trinal 'affirmations, to which they pro-
fess assent, and for whose advocacy
they appear before the world. Those
lives that have in great part borne the
richest spiritual fruit while adhering to
some obnoxious dogmas have been in
fluenced mainly by doctrines that are
morally sound and hence spiritually
quickening. To them God has stood as
Father, and man as brother, or at
least as being for whom they should
do all they could in this life, leaving
the fate of each to the disclosures of the
future.
1t is undeniable that Universalism
presents the highest motives to induce
men to love God and obey him. Is it
bearing that amount of precious fruit
that truth in its noblest forms should
produce The moral average is GER
tainly high. Can not the truly relig-
ious element, the fervidly devotional
spirit, be made more active? "We
love him because he first loved u.s."
Beloved, let us love one another, for
love is of God, and every one that low
eth is born of God and knoweth God"
"There is one God and Father Of all"
HE hath made of one blood all the ma
lions of men to dwell on the face of the
earth" sour Father who art in heaven"
"Love all and do good to all practice
the golden rule; love God, and thy
neighbor as thyself, if you would be my
disciples and the children ofyour Father
in heaven" says Jesus substantially.
God the Father, man the child and
brother, and love the uniting bond and
inspiring motive. This is the essence
of gospel teaching. Those who so be-
lieve have the highest motives to wor-
ship and obedience, and their lives
should be convincing commentary ON
their professions-G Gospel Banner.

breath. The law of gravitation crushes
the simple worshipers in the Methodist
chapel while singing their hymns just
as surely as if they were engaged in
midnight brawl. Job must bold his
feelings in control. Let the Moslem
give way to them in his battle cry, and
the red Indian wake the echoes of his
hunting grounds with such wild bowls;
but when Job can attend scientific lee
lures at the Royal Institution, or take
course of evening lectures at the
School of Mines, he ought to conduct
himtelt in a rational way in time of
misfortune, and show himself to be a
philosopher" *s
Then answered John Stuart the Mil
lite, with unusual warmth: 81, too,
have been in trouble, but needed no
sackcloth, nor scattered any ashes on
my head. took a philosophic course.
l mounted philosophic steed and sped
away from my trouble. If Job will
hear me, he shall know how to keep
distress under his feet, and to defy the
threatening storm. What time l am
afraid I flee to metaphysics, and when
conscience threatens to get the upper
hand of me 1 consider the functions
and the logical value Of the syllogism.
When my father, who would never
allow me to have any convictions about
religion different from his own, melted
into the infinite azure of the past,
comforted myself under such melting
by testing Berthollet's curious law
that two soluble salts mutually decom-
pose one another whenever the new
combinations which result produce an
insoluble compound, or one less soluble
than the two former; and the comfort
ing effect Of the experiment was re-
markable-so much so, that, in an &C.
stacy of scientific surprise and delight,
1 almost wished that he had melted
sooner, that 1 might have had longer
possession of this prize. o that Job
would do something of the same kind !
He would forget the past in trice, and
be as happy as l am. Let me put you
in possession of secret, if by doing so
1 can rally the detected Job. When 1
die there will be found in my desk the
manuscript of my autobiography; and
so sustained was I by philosophic re-
Election during its composition, that
never once in its pages have 1 mention
ed my mother ! Nobody could know
from my autobiography that I ever had
mother That is what 1 call self
control Other people talk of their
mothers, and their mothers influence,
and their mothers prayers, and their
mothers example, but never own the
relationship keep on the airy high
lands of philosophy, and avoid the close
undertaking valleys of sentiment. Once,
indeed, 1 was about to give way to the
common folly; but 1 recovered my self
restraint by showing the fallacious rea.
soning which has been founded on the
law of inertia and the first law Of mo-
ton, and never lost my balance again.
If Job would take some such course, his
grief would be forever dissipated."

attempt to learn the English language.
He took lessons in English, but when he
found that it was necessary to say that

1--WE go on feet. When a language is SO
absurd and extravagant as to say that
person goes on foot, what is the use of
learning it?" And thereupon he aband-
oned the English language.
